    Touch me, I don't think so!
    Apr 1 2024

    Do you like to be touched? Me neither and neither do plants! Plants can truly sense the world around them and can perceive when you touch them or even reach out and try and grab on to something! This mini-episode is a science blast on just some of the ways plants plants can respond to being touched!
